DEAN'S MESSAGE

Making a positive impact in every corner of Nebraska

If you have not seen it, or looked lately, check out our community impact map! From The Grocery in Rushville with the Sandhills Institute, or our collaboration with Nebraska Games and Parks in Indian Cave, to the marvelous design build work at Ogallala with Cedar Point Biological Station or with the Santee Sioux Nation, the College of Architecture faculty, staff and students are engaged in Nebraska! Our design and planning work benefits literally every corner of Nebraska, and we know this because we see it on the faces of our collaborators and community stakeholders. We are fortunate that experiential learning and community-based design and planning have been core to our identity at the College of Architecture since our formation. This form of inquiry and creative problem solving enriches lives of those of use fortunate to pursue it, and the benefits extend well beyond Nebraska. To Go Big Red is to go make a difference.

Make it a great week!

INTERIOR DESIGN

The Interior Design Program had a successful and celebratory spring break. Our program had strong representation at the Interior Design Educator’s Council annual conference hosted this year in Vancouver, Canada. In total, we had three peer-reviewed abstracts selected for presentation at the international conference and one poster presentation. In addition, Assistant Professor Kendra Ordia was awarded the 2023 IDEC Teaching Excellence Award because of her efforts in crafting nature-integrated interiors through biophilic experiential learning methodology in studios. This award recognizes “success in the development and delivery of a specific educational experience that yields exceptional student learning” and is the second time in the last three years that a UNL interior design faculty member has earned this honor!
